``idea of keeping Rana and bowling him in the final overs is also ridiculous``
Ironically, he was termed as the ``The best ODI bowler at the death`` by CricInfo! :)

vanguard I have been reading columns in Urdu press for a long time despite the very fact that most of them are based on emotions rather than logic. I never claimed that the English press is the true representative of general pakistanis. I also do not say that Urdu press is hyping on the ground realities for what they say may very well be factual, I am just complaining against overdosing.

I agree with you on the fact that Irfan Hussain, Ardeshir Cowasjee, Najam Sethi do not write for common people, but let me tell you that I do not need any Urdu columnist either to know what a common man on the street is going through because I am also from the common run of the people. I know very much what are my problems and what is the problem of our columnists. What type of solutions from the government are being offered to me and what `solutions` our columnists get from powers that be.

You talk about reading Urdu columnists seriously and I tell you that I had been working with the daily Jang for three years and The News for another three years. With all due respect to you my friend, allow me to claim that I know better than you as to whom our so-called `daanishwar` from the press are actually employed by.

Let me reiterate my complain that these columnists, especially from the Urdu wing, show only the one side of the picture.
